Barbera + Dolcetto blend. Definitely the acidity of the Barbera, but softens the tannins of the Dolcetto. Medium bodied, pretty smooth with leather, good fruit, currants, violets. From Amaro Spirits & Wines.

Bright red fruit and acid. Matching well with food. Will be even better in a few years.

Cherry in the nose. Some pepper. Medium tannin. Wish it wasn’t so high in ABV.
